Summary
I am eager to pursue seasonal work for the foreseeable future and would love to start my career ski/mountain guiding for Shasta Mountain Guides. I've developed many of the prerequisite skiing and mountaineering skills required for the job, and have gained experience with guide-guest relationships through work as a river guide. I've always looked up to the mountain guides in my life, and would be very excited to join the ranks and learn from the best.
